It makes sense to tread a little more lightly while ranking the quarterbacks for Week 10 after assuming last week that Ben Roethlisberger probably didn't have another monster performance in him like he displayed versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 10: Quarterbacks
The SB Nation fantasy staff ranks the quarterbacks for Week 10.

Instead, the Pittsburgh Steelers signal caller promptly hung another six touchdowns on the Baltimore Ravens just a week after posting one of the highest fantasy point totals of all time. Making matters even more intriguing, Roethlisberger faces a New York Jets defense that has yielded more fantasy points to quarterbacks than any other team. Needless to say, the SB Nation Fantasy staff has Big Ben ranked pretty high this week.

As for the others, fantasy owners will have to do without the likes of Andrew Luck, Tom Brady, and Philip Rivers this week, and not to mention Nick Foles shaking up the spectrum by having to miss significant time due to a clavicle injury. Mark Sanchez will now get the nod, and despite being the butt of every football joke in recent history, his fantasy outlook presents upside in a potent Philadelphia Eagles offense.
Let’s see how all of the quarterbacks stack up for Week 10:
